Hey guys, I have been on here for a few months now, and I find the information I find to be nothing short of amazing. Anything I could have been looking for as far as sources, information, tips, advice, etc. are all readily available, and to be honest, after being on some other boards, the etiquette of the members on here is exceptional. I have used a few of the top sources on here so far, and quite frankly, other than some gear I got when I was much younger from a friends father who was a professional body builder, I am blown away by how easy it is to get such awesome gear. My ignorance of pricing over the years, until I found this site, has caused me to blow way too much money, but in any event, now that I am here and have this vast supply of sources and knowledge, I feel like it is a real game changer for me. For someone who lifts on a budget (married with 2 kids, so the money spreads thin), I can finally achieve goals I didn't think I would have been able to afford to even attempt...glad to be here gentlemen.

As far as a short background and introduction, I have been lifting on and off (due to career/life changes, not motivation) for the past 12 years. Honestly, I love lifting weights, and if I could, I would lift every day, but time doesn't allow it. I get a good program in every week, hit every body part, do my cardio etc., and due to my wife's amazing culinary skills, I eat a very on point diet. This is a lifestyle for me, not a fad or an appearance thing. I do it for me, and I do it for the pure love of it. That's all I have for now, looking forward to flooding these boards with anything I can add to help!
